Summary - 78 GLASTONBURY ROAD BIRMINGHAM B14 4DR
3 bed 1 bath House
Affordable family home with scope to update near good schools and rail links.
Freehold three-bedroom end-terrace, around 890 sq ft
This three-bedroom, end-terrace home on Glastonbury Road offers an affordable entry into Yardley Wood with straightforward potential for improvement. The property is freehold and arranged over two storeys with a traditional layout, gas central heating and double glazing — ready for a buyer looking to personalise living space.
Location is a key strength: several local schools (including Outstanding-rated options) are nearby, and the local train station is approximately a ten-minute walk, making commutes into Birmingham manageable. The house sits on a small, low-maintenance frontage and benefits from good mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for home working or family needs.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly. The property is in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates; prospective purchasers should review this carefully. The building dates from the 1930–1949 period and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance is likely needed. The home has one bathroom and a modest footprint (about 890 sq ft), and the finish is dated in places — renovation and modernization will be required to unlock full value.
For families or first-time buyers prepared to invest in practical updates, this house presents value: reasonable price, good local amenities and strong transport links, paired with clear scope to improve energy efficiency, layout and interior finishes.
